Luxor and Valley of the Queens

The Valley of the Queens is one of the necropolises where representatives of royal families were buried. According to researchers, not only the wives of the pharaohs are buried in the Valley of the Queens, but also the heirs to the throne, who were not destined to become rulers. Archaeologists also excavated a place in the necropolis where priests performed ritual actions and prepared the deceased for burial.

This Tour Includes:

  • Comfort & Convenience: Round-trip air-conditioned transfers from your Hurghada hotel to Luxor and all transfers within Luxor.

  • Expert Guidance: Services of a professional, licensed Egyptologist guide in Luxor.

  • Comprehensive Access: All entrance tickets to the Karnak Temple Complex, Hatshepsut Temple, Colossi of Memnon, and the Valley of the Queens.

  • Iconic Experience: Picturesque Nile River crossing by boat.

  • Sustenance: Delicious buffet lunch at a riverside café.

Additional Charges (Optional):

  • Banana Island: An optional visit is available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays for an additional $10.

  • Drinks during lunch.

  • Entrance to Tutankhamun's Tomb: An additional $20 per person to enter the tomb inside the Valley of the Kings (please note: Valley of the Kings is not part of this specific itinerary, so this would be an extra detour/cost if desired).

  • Personal expenses (e.g., souvenirs).

Program :

Early Morning : Hurghada Hotel Pick-up & Journey to Luxor

  • Your adventure begins with a comfortable, air-conditioned transfer directly from your Hurghada hotel. Relax and enjoy the scenic drive through the desert landscape, with essential stops for breakfast/rest and facilities along the way.

Morning : Arrival in Luxor & The Power of Karnak

  • Arrive in Luxor, where the echoes of pharaohs still resonate. Your first stop is the magnificent Karnak Temple Complex, a sprawling city of sanctuaries, obelisks, and colossal columns dedicated to the gods. Explore the sacred Lake, touch the legendary Scarab Beetle for good luck, and marvel at the towering obelisks that pierce the sky, revealing the immense power of ancient Egyptian devotion.

Midday : Nile Crossing & Riverside Lunch

  • Experience a quintessential Luxor moment with a picturesque boat crossing of the majestic Nile River to the West Bank. Afterward, indulge in a delicious buffet lunch at a charming café nestled right on the banks of the Nile, offering refreshing river views.

Afternoon : West Bank Wonders – Royal Women & Colossal Guardians

  • Temple of Queen Hatshepsut: Discover the unique and stunning terraced Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a striking architectural masterpiece built for Egypt's most powerful female pharaoh. Its bold design stands majestically against the desert cliffs.

  • Colossi of Memnon: Pause to admire the colossal twin statues of the Colossi of Memnon, the towering remains of Amenhotep III's mortuary temple, standing silently as guardians of the West Bank for thousands of years.

  • Valley of the Queens: Delve into the sacred Valley of the Queens, the necropolis where the wives of pharaohs and their children were laid to rest. Explore select tombs (visiting specific tombs depends on accessibility and guide's discretion), marveling at their vibrant decorations and gaining insight into royal funerary practices.

  • Alabaster Factory or Oil Factory: Gain insight into traditional Egyptian craftsmanship with a visit to either an Alabaster Factory, witnessing the intricate process of carving beautiful sculptures, or an Oil Factory, discovering ancient Egyptian perfume and essential oil traditions. (The choice typically depends on tour logistics and your guide's recommendation.)
